On the Authentic Samui Experience, you'll escape the crowds and explore the island’s cultural highlights from a local's perspective.
The early start allows you to witness the peaceful sight of monks walking barefoot through neighborhoods as locals offer food to make merit. It's the perfect time to visit the island’s serene temples, such as Big Buddha and Wat Plai Laem, before the crowds arrive. Enjoy the tranquility and reflect in peace as you take in their beauty. The tour also includes a visit to the Hinta Hinyai (Grandmother and Grandfather Rocks), along with hidden gems of the island you might not have discovered before.
This experience offers exceptional photo opportunities, allowing you to capture stunning, crowd-free images of Samui’s most iconic sites. Beginning early in the morning, the tour offers a unique way to enjoy the island and leaves you with plenty of time to relax and enjoy the rest of your day at your hotel or villa.

So many sights to see. This is a nice tour to stop and visit.
This temple is definitely worth a visit. Very spiritual. There are quite a few shops dotted round and you can get food and drinks easily.
A interesting half day. A must while in Samui.

It was a very good experience for Discovering Koh Samui. We had a great & friendly tour guide, Ning & driver. We had so much fun on it especially my wife was able to experience a 10 minute head massage from the monk at the temple!!

We could visit all the major attractions in Samui. Unlike other tour agency, we were in a van with great a/c. Fortunately, it was like our private tour because there was only another 2 people from Australia with us.
The tour guide speaks english very well and she gave major information and enough time to see all attrations. Highly recommended
